Give the percent yield when 28.16 g of CO₂ are formed from the reaction of 4.000 moles of C₈H₁₈ with 8.000 moles of O₂. 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is limited by O2, which is not enough to react with all the C8H18. The theoretical yield of CO2 is calculated based on the limiting reactant, O2. The actual yield is 28.16 g of CO2, and the theoretical yield is higher, leading to a percent yield of 12.50%.
